As people are displaced by wildfires in the PNW, it's only the beginning of a journey navigating complicated systems to rebuild their lives.

It took Jim Bowles 6 years to get into permanent housing. He fell through the cracks over and over.

Today I was granted access to speak with incarcerated firefighters.

They told me:
- they hadn’t showered in 5 days
- they were not provided regularly meals
- they were working 24 hours in a row
- they feel under appreciated and underpaid

Prepping for Dia de los Muertos in Corvallis, I got to see community organizers put together their own offrenda.

What unexpected things can you check out from the Albany Public Library? The newest collection includes a metal detector, bubble machine, pickleball supplies and more.

Just an average day on the job... with Jess Hume-Pantuso photographing a bubble machine inside the Albany Public Library.

Working on a story about Albany's Library of Things!

Here's a follow up:
2 doctors were let go prompting dozens of surgeries to be cancelled.

Many of the patients were breast cancer survivors. At least 1 was trans, seeking gender affirming care.

Delayed care, credit card debt, where they are now👇https://t.co/9s203f7bAm

A sad day for local journalism in Oregon.

"EO Media Group told staff Monday that 28 of the company’s 185 employees are being laid off this month, and 19 more will see their hours reduced in July."

Current read: Maid by @stepville
I'm bringing it on my roadtrip and happen to be passing through Washington, where the memoir takes place.

For the last few years Amy Crevola has operated a free pantry out of her home. It's landed her in some hot water with Corvallis city code.

Now, the pantry known as Roadside Moon is closing down. The decision is tinged with sadness but also relief.

Oregon Rehabilitation centers are able to take in ducklings for the first time in 2 years after the loosening of restrictions related to highly pathogenic avian influenza.

I watched a orphan ducklings unite with "foster" duck parents.
